A breeze from the fan makes its way
across the room, touching the skin’s surface
as if pulsing with its own life
gifting with each breath, more life

locked beneath the sun-darkened skin.
Meditation, agitated encounters with
presences beneath the skin
presences that know no boundaries of time or space

that live beneath the sun-darkened skin.
Waiting in the silence
for the silence to be broken
by a chime pronouncing the end
and a return to life
outside this layer of sun-darkened skin.
